So.. why did it necessitate premining the coins ?

How is it that Ripple inc is going to beat any and all other solutions possible for banks ?
What is the big advantage to Ripple and the premined coins ?

I recall "big news" with Ethereum way back.. supposedly IBM was "using" Ethereum.
They would not shut the fuck up about it on Poloniex troll-boxs so i asked some questions.
Immediately i was rampaged on and insulted with mod's jumping in having a jab at me.
Eventually banned for "FUD" of course.

So..

I asked.
I said to the lead spamming shill-tard, so are the coins connected to the coins on Poloniex ?
He said no.
He said it was an internal network experiment they were running privately.
So i said.. oh really then ?
Well then.. what good is it spamming that news on the troll box in a deceptive manner then ?
Mods then jumped on me hard and random guys started insulting me.
Scammy deceitful lies posted to lure in idiots sanctioned by Polo staff.

Then *again.. i told the staffers at Polo they were simply grooming their victims.
And never get in the middle of a predator and the victims he is grooming.  
They don't like that one bit !

Fast forward a little while and i noticed they simply stopped all chatter about IBM.
So i asked and said uhhh.. WTF ? why did you guys stop mentioning it ? What happened ?
I was told by the same shill-tard's whom i suspected where hired by the Ethereum team to spam..
That IBM had discontinued their private experiment and had chosen to create their own system.

Now boys & girls do you understand why i just brought that up in relation to this topic ?

Oh and if you don't believe me the data should have all been logged in Polonibox.com.

Anyway.. i am curious.
Joel how many XRP coins did the company give you ?
How much are they paying you ?
It says in your SIG you are an employee. (not a volunteer)
So i can't imagine you would come here to admit there is problems with XRP and still expect to keep getting Ripple inc pay checks.

Oh and i wonder if you get more than Ripple spent on paid votes at Cryptsy to get added.
I watched as XRP sat on the TOP of the voting list all a long since it was created.
And i recall early on Cryptsy-staff didn't like Ripple (no one did) because of it's scammy premine and hand out's to friends with fancy corporate titles etc.

So.. it sat on the voting list for a year or something while Ripple inc poured sickening amounts of BTC on the Exchange to get XRP added.
They had more votes then all the other dev's buying votes in the entire 100+ coin list combined.

..yet they had a 418 page coin topic giveaway where no one was getting their coins.

1 million dollars and two years later.. we have *almost ? 

The ICO scam coin fuse went out long ago kid hahahhaha

I see far too many problems with Ripple.

For one thing they want XRP to work with "Big Banks"
But i have said all along they won't be buying XRP premined coins.
In an unregulated scam coin scene.

As much as projects like Ripple want to exclude themselves from the scene.. they can't.
It's still a fucking Altcoin !
A shady ass sketchy premined / ICO bullshit one to boot !

Are banks willing to integrate into a coin system that is unregulated ?
Nope.
This screams risk to them.

Let me put it this way.. during the housing market crash there was bail-out's.
Who is going to bail-out Ripple if it's needed one day ?
You think trillions will flow from the US govt to Ripple inc's scammy inept hands ?
And if it's not possible to bail them out ...then it's a risk.
A financial risk for banks.

Why do they need to buy XRP from bag holders ?
When they have so many other options available.
Are you guys forgetting what is already setup + being used right now ?

How is some crypto premined / centralized shit going to beat Interact eTransfer for example ?
I can send someone money ultra fast.. almost instantly.
It costs 50 cents and then i click a link in my email.. done.

Jeez Joel put the Kool-Aid down and get some fresh air.. you are brain washed !
The rest of the morons here are stupid dreamers.. naive to the reality of it all.

Ya but ICO'er still sells on teh New York Stock Exchanger !!

This is funny.. it really is the Comedy forum section.
Watching that fraud mining1 run around doing damage control is hilarious.
And what if ?
What forgot about the DAO ? hahahhaha

This is my new favorite topic 

I ROFL'd i dunno bout you 
I guess this is the Comedy section now... hahahhaha

The guy is making sense with the technical criticism.
I wonder if Joel will address it directly.

Myself I veer towards the meat & potatoes of it all..

I have issues with the ideology for starters.
And the handling has been sketchy too.
Which has been brought up then ignored.

Has Ripple Inc been honest & transparent and accountable?

They know it is this forum that made them yet have no none but Joel slinging poor excuses?

Want a list of bullshit stunts Ripple Inc has been behind?

It's not needed.
I have been preaching the simplicity of it all to you guys for years.
As dev's unleash 10k+ ANN topics for convoluted ICO crypto schemes.
Do you all NEED an ICO analysis?

Why does common sense get circumvented?
If all ICO'S are scammy then why analyze the contents of one?
What coins is he checking out for us?

Greedy morons need someone smart to check out the code?
Why so they know what to profit off of?

With or without him you all should smarten up..
You act like greedy morons.

Maybe if you spent time "investing" in a CURRENCY and not crypto schemes for profit then you wouldn't need someone to hold your greedy hands?

And you and the Ripple employee here?
I see the same shit talking frauds here defending bad..
I was last here telling both of you that you are full of shit..

All you guys do is play dumb and fuck around..
Because it pads your wallet.
.. Not mine.

I last simply pointed out how everything that comes out of Joel's mouth is waffling Ripple damage control bullshit.

What does it matter he just says?

It matters when millions of dollars are at stake and the players in control are provably deceitful.
Being heavily associated with GOX and then pretending you had no idea big problems were happening is not gonna fly.

It doesn't matter what people think of me.
The same idiots are here spewing BS.
Read it for yourself.. Don't take my word for it.

Why do we call Monero Shill's cult participants ?
Look at Febo ..he would follow Fluffypony off a cliff.

They do no wrong yet actually do over & over for years.

Then they smooth / smoothie it over often with an "I'm sorry" and all is well.
Such as this scammy ass stunt.. buddy just says he.. tough luck.. you shouldn't listen to people on Twitter.

Seriously ? 

Then they try to create another Dash diversion. 

Let me put it this way.. if LEO Coin is a confirmed scam what bearing does that have on Monero and their leaders fucking over the scene on purpose ?
And their contradictory little facade of altruism ?

Like king Risto who said he was not in it for the money and he "forgot" he had 2.2 million dollars in XMR on polo.. yet it was funny when he was laughing and bragging about making 5 grand from kids lunch money on Polo way back.

These guy are shit talking greedy little money grubbing predators.
The reality is.. they get your money.
Then swirl up a tornado of bullshit to cover their tracks after the fact.. over & over.

What the pony boy could have done is say.. "I'm sorry"
Not.. tough luck suckers.

But how the hell do they have supporters ?
What in the hell is wrong with you people ?
Are you that immoral or trapped with bags etc that you refuse to abandon the XMR scam ?

..lemmings straight off a cliff.

Bottom Line:
Those specific guys *ARE* your leaders and YES you *ARE* following them.
No matter how many times they fuck up !
I wouldn't but i have integrity.. not excuses.

I've been looking at the stats on & off for a long time and the average has been going down.
Average online per day:    219.19
It says right now and it was often 300 'ish before.
Surprising because i thought there was more users here these days.

I'm guessing that statistic is the average from the time it started until now.
Which explains why it doesn't match the next stat..
Users Online:    8029
Which was half that when i posted this late last night.

I always seen activity rise during North American hours on Cryptsy.
I think it might be the same thing going on.

1 million accounts created is huge though !
And yeah i bet bots are part of it.
I also bet many of them are posting in Off-Topic ..the posts there are retarded A/B choice topics.

Anyway.. I have brought up the *almost a million accounts thing here lots before.
Often as a reminder in the Altcoin section that i rarely see the same people post twice.
Some kids out there use account creation as a form of communication  
So it puts thing into perspective when you are taking advice from people here.
Oh and it is now 100270 as of right now.. and climbing fast.

Obviously there is a lot of bullshit that goes on when we have 1 million accounts and 8k user online.
Myself.. i have made 1 account here and never logged into another even once before.
I also have never used a VPN or Proxy either..
Has there been any other site that has had this much account shenanigans ?

Like holy shit guys.. 1 million bloody accounts and an average of 219 online ? HAHHAHAHA

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats

Ya good point..

I also wonder how big some other forums are in comparison.
For example the Nvidia forums total accounts created stats.
Too lazy to go look though  

Oh and anytime i looked at the modlog here i seen large batches of accounts banned.
I always assumed it was staff hammering a guy for a bit who was creating a pile of accounts.

I forever have to remind people that others are poor.
Plenty of people out there have no bank account or even a car.
As of right now.. i have neither.

Further more plenty of other countries are still developing.
Getting cars or web access to them is an ongoing issue.

What it boils down to is people who are middle class etc stuck with tunnel vision acting like the whole world is like them.

Lets be realistic, for one thing if there is money to be made in older tech it will continue to be pushed.
If there is still a demand then it will be provided at a cost.

It's sort of like idiots who think FIAT is almost about to vanish forever.
Not bloody likely in the next 100 years dumb ass's 

Hey tons of people use Windows XP.
I know my old room-mate a few months back was using it.
I think the White House switched from it in 2013 i seen with a Neowin.net news story.
ATM's across the world use it.
But it doesn't stop opinionated idiots from spouting off because they "know things" 

They are scammy.. where is the asterisk on ETH ?

Why is he broadcasting his own stupidity ?
Does he not get he is simply highlighting his own dumb actions ?

Half an hour ago i seen 999725 user accounts created.
Now.. 999764

We are fast approaching the 1 million accounts milestone !

What does this mean and how do you feel about this people ?

Source = https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats

So i read the start of this page and i see "so i thought i was done"
Yup.. you are "leaving" *again* ...after being banned again ..blaming others for YOUR actions.  
Remember your grand farewell topic after they banned one of your other accounts ?

Shelby you are an arrogant & stubborn self-professed "genius".

You said on the previous page what your "responsibility is"

Your responsibility is pretty simple.. follow the fucking rules  
You have posted on this topic endlessly you feel you are exempt.. because your smarter ?
Well..
If that was the case you would be able to still post what you want to say and still be within the rules
or within the extensive leeway the staff have given you here for years.

Are you forgetting they have extended a vast amount of patience to you here ?
Where is your gratitude ?
theymos himself says he may be willing to unban you if you say you learned your lesson.
So what do you do ?
You ran here running your mouth like a massive arrogant prick.. biting at anyone that does not agree with you.

I don't think you are as smart as you claim to be bud.  
Or you wouldn't have a pile of accounts banned..
And you also have never understood WHY they fucking banned you.
For example..
You claimed they banned you for "Ethereum FUD".
If that was the case don't you think i would have been banned too ?    

WHY ..is the reason you are banned in the first place Shelby.
It's not what you did.. but the fact you never head warnings and push on breaking rules.
You were banned because you did not UNDERSTAND the rule and that you broke it.
Your never ending excuses are irrelevant.

They did not ban you because you slipped up and broke a rule ONCE.
You are banned because you are being a petulant little child who thinks he is exempt to following rules.
You are banned Again.. because they are trying to send you a message THAT YOU DO NOT COMPREHEND in your infinite "genius"  

You spew a lot of bullshit bud.
You seem to see what you want in your own imaginary made up NWO agenda world.
You get banned for breaking extremely specific rules then in your mind you blame some other spooky / kooky little agenda.
For someone who struts around as the leading genius (exempt to rules) on here you have a horrendous grasp on reality and COMPREHENSION.

Grow up and accept responsibility for your actions.
You are acting like a fucking brat.

They banned you because YOU broke the rules and then forced their hand.
They let you get away with tons of shit and you pushed them until the breaking point.
Then you want to rail on about NWO agenda's and your gifts to theymos etc on and on ?
I think your "gift" to theymos would be to quit being a fucking pain in the ass ROFL  

You claimed this site should not function as it does and it should be run "better".
be that as it may.. you clicked agree to the TOS when you created your numerous accounts.
Did you read what you AGREED to ?

Anyway.. i have not always been on the best footing with mprep etc.
But i do think these guys are just trying to do their job and retain order.
And WHY would they be doing this ?
You can see that in the topic in this section i am going to create RIGHT NOW !

---

EDIT:

I Posted a topic pointing out there is now 1 million accounts here registered.
Implying it is a lot of work to moderate.
And it shouldn't be a rule system based on your arrogant attitude or IQ.

Take the multi posting rule..
Shelby thinks he's exempt from that rule because his comments are higher quality.
So he feels he is entitled to side step the rule he knows he's breaking.

Did Satoshi have to keep getting banned?

Like what the fuck is the problem?
Say you are sorry and agree to stop violating those key rules mentioned and move on.
Why is this even an issue?

Shelby 90% of us would not even get a 2nd consideration from the boss.. But you did.
And turned your nose up at it.

I agree and posted proof how one of them "Kluge" (with friends here) sent me a death threat and trolling harassment via PM and then vanished.. after trashing my rating.
And once he did others piled in trying to get a jab in too (Monero idiots and VOD the arrogant retard)

Fair or not don't matter.
What matters is theymos calls the shots.

So to him i would say look man, the price is way higher vs 2011.
So if you lowered it you would get a whole hell of a lot more money.
So it's simple.. want money ? Lower the amount for Donator / VIP.
Don't ?
Then leave it.
Simple.

It's your site so make the rules however you want.
There is no OBLIGATION to past donators.. they got their "perks"  

But i am not sure it's wise to pull a donation title based on scam accusations.
I would vote leave that alone.. if they paid then they paid.
I'd rather be able to see if a user is banned with a title under their name.
Then it could still say Donator but banned underneath..

Spot on.. agreed !
Same old, same old.  

I bet he's from India.

I hate to be a dick but it gets old when a non English country all of sudden floods your English site with scams and idiocy and tons of vulgar attacks on the English language.

I don't think i am critical either.. i don't act like a grammar NAZI because mine is pretty shit.
But the hoards of broken English mush mouth greedy scammy little foreigners make me look like a scholar.  

For example..

I was on XDA forums in the section for my Android phone regularly.
Then my phone was put out with some cheap ass variants in INDIA.
HOLY FUCK !
The place turned into a shitfest from hell instantly.
They broke every rule and were mouthy and obnoxious and shady and monumentally irritating.
All of a sudden over night there was an Indian flag under every users avatar and they were spamming moronic shit every which way imaginable.

It go so bad i left.

Would i go and half ass it in the Russian section ?
Noooope.. so why is it ok the other way around ?

Anyway
Dumb ass is caught.. so yeah.. that is all there is to it.
Make excuses all you want it changes no end results.
And i happened to have used the cookie jar comment early here before the other guy did. LOL
My little brother would act like that.. i think he actually did that with a real cookie jar way back too  
Or at least a situation VERY similar.

Ya i was suspicious about this even before i clicked.
I was hearing similar shit on some of the ongoing scam topics too.

It would be easier to use a NOOB account here to "SAY" they got paid than it would be to actually pay anyone THEIR MONEY.

No complaint before hand but a guy shows up saying he got it all fixed ?
Then doesn't say how or even what the problem is ?

You can read his own words and see his verbal gymnastics..
He always knows.. but well doesn't know.

Always seems to be posturing for cred so you can take his word for it but then won't say anything.

Letting Jeb off the hook because he didn't know ?
Uhhmm no.. i knew when i showed in crypto in 2013 and seen the side effects of a fractional reserve in operation.
Yet a guy who WORKED THERE and owned a 12% stake had no idea ?

That is the same as Cryptsy idiots saying they had no idea there was a problem.
Ya you did fuckheads.. you knew because the people was screaming and bitching non stop.
And the transfers were insanely fucked up.

When i got in crypto i heard on DAY ONE people waiting months to get their Bitcoin.

This guy is full of fucking shit .
